Events Management (BA (Hons))

About the course

Events have become important markers in all our lives. Whether in music, sport, television or politics, not a day goes by without a major event happening somewhere in the world.

From massive events like Glastonbury Festival to intricate product launches, you will study the legal side of events, gain the ability to plan and implement all sizes of events, manage volunteers and adhere to all relevant licensing requirements. You will learn how to produce a wide variety of events, whether for a multinational company, your own business or any size of organisation in-between.

Coming with some experience of events, whether through volunteering at a school prom or working directly in an events environment, this course will build a solid foundation for your continuing study. You will be taught by highly experienced events practitioners, all members of the UK Centre for Events Management, the leading provider of events education in the country, which is based here at the University.

Our applied management course is dedicated to getting you into the events industry, and our experienced lecturers will help you find your way. All modules on the course are contextualised into the events industry - everything you learn will have a practical application when you begin your career.

We recommend taking the sandwich option for this course as it will enable you to put what you are studying into practice and gain a year of valuable industry experience.
